    Exactly. Internet delivered to the home by some form of wired connection will always be better than internet delivered via cellular, regardless of whether it’s an old-school hotspot or a newer 5g router with the cellular modem built in.

    As far as ISPs go, Fios is pretty good. I have them, they’re relatively cheap for 1Gbps symmetrical, I regularly speed test at like 980Mbps, I get a regular public IP (no cgnat), the pub ip my router pulls only rotates when the router power cycles, the ONT box is just Ethernet so I can use my MikroTik and not have to dick around with making an ISP supplied modem/router pass through, idk I’m happy.

    Not sure if they support ipv6 in my market, I just have all that disabled on my router. I know I know, I should stand it up, but I really don’t feel like it.
